All combat operations take place on a certain terrain in a certain area. It is necessary for our students to study terrain, its accidents and features.
Accidents of terrain are: mountains, hills and ravines.
Feature of terrain may be natural and artificial.
Natural features of terrain include: rivers, lakes, woods, swamps, etc. But highways, country-roads, railways, bridges, railway stations, factories and plants, buildings etc. belong to artificial features.
Maps help to study terrain. All officers must know how to read military maps.
Read the text.

On such maps the terrain is shown by conventional signs. To differentiate conventional signs, various colors are used:
a) black – for man-made objectives: buildings, roads, railways, etc.;
b) green – for vegetation: trees, woods, fields, etc.;
c) blue is used for seas, rivers, lakes, etc.;
d) brown – for contour lines: hills, ravines, valleys, etc.;
e) red – for road classification.
All Engineer obstacles such as minefields, roadblocks, wire entanglements, both friendly and enemy are shown in green. Contaminated areas are marked in yellow.

Terrain
As you know, all the students of the Combined Arms Military Academy study a lot of subjects. The most important of them is tactics. In order to know this subject well, the students often go to the field for field training, where they study different forms of combat, terrain, its accidents and features.
Some days ago we went to the field by buses in the northern direction. The buses moved along the federal main road four lanes wide and soon stopped near hill 133.2. This hill was not far from the cross-roads. The mission of our group was to carry out reconnaissance of that area and plot the situation on the map.
To see the terrain around better, some of us went up the hill, the others went to the lake which was half a kilometer northeast of the hill.
From the hill we saw the inhabited locality of M. which was situated to the right of the hill. In its center there were some stone buildings, two schools, a cinema, a factory and a post-office. On its eastern outskirts there was a church. We saw a well not far from it. To the west of this inhabited locality we saw a country road. It leads to two villages, which are called B. and C. but they are smaller than the inhabited locality of M. Most of the houses there are wooden. In front of B. and behind C. there are large fields.

35
A railway runs north of these villages; it leads to the town of K. which is situated northwest of this area. At the southwestern approaches to K. there is a railway station. We saw a tower near the railway crossing. A good highway leads from town of K. to the villages of B. and C. South of M. there is a river, which runs from the west to the east. It is over 10 m wide and about 1.5 m deep. Its bottom is sandy. Its left bank is high and stony, its right bank is low but there are no swamps on it. There are no ferries on the river but there is a good ford across it up the river. Some years ago there was an old narrow bridge two and a half kilometers from this ford down the river. Now there is a new wide bridge over the river there. About 5 km to the southeast of the bridge we saw an airfield with some planes and helicopters on it.
A narrow footpath runs down the hill. We took it and went to the lake to join our students.
On the way there we crossed a field and went through a thick wood. On its eastern edge there is a camp with many tents. The camp is not far from the western shore of the lake. Near the lake we saw our students and buses. We took the buses and went to the academy.
